Cameron Boyce's Friends & Family Remember Him 1 Year After His Passing

We can’t believe it’s been a whole year since Cameron Boyce sadly passed away.

The Descendants actor lost his life to Epilepsy on July 6, 2019, and his legacy has been living on ever since.

On the anniversary of his death, Cameron‘s close friends and family remembered him with photos and special messages on Instagram.

“Today, though our hearts are heavy, we choose to honor the incredible legacy Cameron leaves behind, and our commitment to use our resources to make our world a better place. We are so grateful for your love and support, and we will continue onward in our fight to end SUDEP. Please visit KNOWSUDEPNOW.org to learn more about how you can help. Much love, TCBF 🙏,” Cam‘s family said through The Cameron Boyce Foundation’s Instagram.

Cameron‘s roommates and best friends, Karan Brar and Sophie Reynolds, both shared information on what to do when someone is having a seizure.

“To our angel, It’s been 365 days of missing you. And every day, we miss you a little more. Not having you, hurts too much. But somehow, you still manage to light up our whole entire world. Our Cam. Our forever boy. Our sunshine wearing shoes. I miss you. So much. I love you. And I will love you. Forever,” Sofia Carson shared on her account.

“one year without your light. something cosmic broke the day you left, something seemingly so impossible, so unjust, so unnatural. the universe cannot repair the gap in her weaving. you were huge. i will love you forever, just like this,” Dove Cameron wrote.

Sarah Jeffery shared on Instagram story, “Please honor the sweetest boy today by considering making a donation to @knowsudepnow … Link is in my bio and you can swipe up here. I love you so much Cameron… You are missed and loved endlessly Cam.”

Skai Jackson Opens Up About Exposing Racists On Twitter

Skai Jackson is opening up about why she’s been exposing racists on Twitter.

The 18-year-old actress dished on using her platform to call people out.

“I would always just get DMs from my fans, because people know I’m an advocate for anti-bullying,” she told ET. “So I would always just look at my messages and see a bunch of my fans saying, ‘Look at what this person said to me, I don’t know how to deal with this.’”

“The more I saw it, it became 20 in a day, I was like, you know what? No! I’m gonna speak out about it, ’cause I think it’s really important. People go through these struggles every day in life, and for me, it’s kinda like my duty with the big platform that I have, to use it for good,” Skai added.

She also added that there is a point when she draws a line.

“I’m not exposing anything thats private — that’s one thing I won’t do,” Skai said. “Everything that is said is public information. You posted these videos, it’s out there to the public. A lot of people have been trying to get me to post their address and number and I’m like, no, no, no, no, no, that’s one thing I will not do. I’m only posting public information.”

“People can say whatever they want. But if you’re that bold to go on a public platform and say these things, please don’t get mad when someone addresses it,” she continued. “That’s simply what I’m doing. If you’re saying this to a hundred people, what’s the difference of a hundred people to a million people seeing it? You said what you said, and obviously you meant it, so… If you don’t want people to know, if you don’t want people to be mad, then you simply shouldn’t have made those videos and made those statements.”
